THE X FILES fans everywhere are eagerly anticipating the show’s return as a six-episode “event series” next year on Fox, and seeing all the familiar faces again. One of them is Mitch Pileggi, who reprises his role as FBI Assistant Director Walter Skinner and spoke to Fango about the revival.

For any fright fans whose eyes have been keenly focused on challenging, contemporary horror, the name SpectreVision should be more than familiar. The horror-centric production company founded by Elijah Wood, Daniel Noah and Josh Waller has been at the forefront of the independent horror area for the past two years, developing provocative and unique films to much acclaim. This summer, however, SpectreVision sees two of its most recent productions, COOTIES and THE BOY, finally reaching a wide audience after building strong buzz on the festival scene. FANGORIA caught up with Wood, Noah and Waller at the 2015 Stanley Film Festival to talk all things SpectreVision…

Welcome, FANGORIA Readers, to CROSSING OVER, our newest column that highlights the films, series and content out there outside of horror that is fashioned towards or pays tribute to our beloved genre. By shining a light onto these projects, FANGORIA hopes to open a world of entertainment perfect for fright fans that lies just beyond the borders of the horror community. So without further ado…

Out of the many of the proclaimed “Masters of Horror” working today, there’s few who keep their cinematic voices as refreshing and versatile as Joe Dante. While his budgets and resources are a far cry from his subversive studio days, Dante still goes for broke in terms of his projects and subject matter as opposed to slumming it with annoying tailored fan service. There’s no better example of Dante’s evolving voice than BURYING THE EX, a potentially by-the-numbers Rom-Zom-Com that escapes its meager means via Dante’s ambition and willingness to get down and dirty with the subject matter.

The 40th Toronto International Film Festival team has announced its Midnight Madness lineup, and it’s the usual batch of exciting genre features from both veteran and up-and-coming filmmakers. A few movies of Fangorian interest are part of the Vanguard section as well.

Upon its initial release, BONES was not defined by the impressive track record of director Ernest Dickerson, nor was it defined by New Line Cinema, which had been struggling to find a horror successor to the nearly decade defunct NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET franchise. No, BONES was defined by and pre-emptively written off by many horror fans because of its star, rapper Snoop Dogg, whose face and thin visage would define the marketing for BONES. However, because BONES was regarded (and disregarded) as “that Snoop Dogg horror movie,” not many horror aficionados took the time to give the movie a chance. Had they did, perhaps they would have seen what this writer saw when revisiting the film one week ago: a genuinely creepy and incredibly fun fright flick with shades of imaginative insanity throughout.

There’s no denying that Wes Craven is indeed one of the top directors in the genre, and there are few who are outright more terrifying and gripping that Craven at the top of his game. Yet Craven is known for his peaks as well as his valleys, and from the jump from one point to another, there is a ton of weird, wild stuff on the way. THE PEOPLE UNDER THE STAIRS is among Craven’s most bizarre (and heavy-handed) films, and though the film isn’t necessarily a genre classic in any regards, the outrageous places the flick eventually goes has rightfully earned THE PEOPLE UNDER THE STAIRS a loyal cult audience.

Welcome to THE CUTTING ROOM, a new weekly column on FANGORIA.com that highlights the stories that most share DNA of our print counterpart. Rather than just feature the features, articles and interviews that didn’t make the cut, this column is dedicated to providing a greater lifeline between FANGORIA Magazine and FANGORIA.com.

There are horror films that attempt to scare the audience by creating a world as close to our reality as possible; films that go for grit and realism in order to make you believe that a palpable threat could be lurking just outside your door. On the opposite end of the spectrum, there are movies that place their narratives deep inside a dreamscape, forcing the characters within to navigate a world where myth and monsters are God, and the corporeal realm we know is an afterthought at best.

THE BARN is building a lot of buzz on the independent-horror scene, and as the Halloween-themed flick nears completion, we’ve got a new exclusive excerpt showcasing one of its creepy characters past the jump.

For New York Horror Hounds, the place to be tonight is NYC’s Cinema Village (22 East 12th Street, off University Place) for FANGORIA’s free screening of XLrator Media’s AMNESIAC. And while fright fans will have to wait until 7 p.m. to catch Michael Polish’s hypnotic psychological thriller in all of it’s glory, FANGORIA has an exclusive clip from the film which you can see below!
